TitleOlympics in German
BodyTo celebrate the biggest and oldest sports games in the world, the Goethe
Institut offers a wide range of projects and articles on the Olympic Games
2004 in Athens. The topics range from portraits of German sportsmen and
women, introductions to less well-known sports, to exhibitions and techno and
classical concerts - organized by the Goethe Institut in Athens, the world's
largest Goethe Institut. At the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on August 23,
Leipzig's Gewandhaus orchestra will be playing and the Schaubühne am
Leniner Platz (Berlin) will be staging their dance theater production.

"The Olympic Games provide us with a unique opportunity of presenting the
modern, up-beat Germany," says Georg Blochmann, program coordinator at
the Goethe Institut in Athens. Luckily for all non-Athenians, most of the
activities can also be found on the Goethe Institut's website.

All texts are available in both English and German.
